Background / History

Origins and early dominance

Pangu’s death and transformation gave rise to the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Their race occupied and ruled the Primordial Desolation continent, while the Demon Race controlled the Thirty-Three Heavens; frequent border skirmishes steadily deepened their enmity. 8

To resist Demon Race ambushes, the Witch Race gathered into twelve major tribes under the Ancestral Witches. This tribal confederation allowed their forces to sweep across the continent, and weaker demon tribes were hunted as prey during the expansion. 8

The Witch-Demon Wars

The Demon Race’s occupation of Mount Buzhou triggered the First Great War. The Witch Race mobilized twelve tribes and millions of warriors, intending to eliminate Eastern Emperor Taiyi before the Heavenly Court could consolidate its strength. 13

Eleven Ancestral Witches jointly fought Taiyi in the heavens while Houtu commanded the ground forces and restrained Kunpeng. Their clashes fractured space and devastated the battlefield, but Dao Ancestor Hongjun eventually halted the conflict, assigning the Demon Race the heavens and the Witch Race the earth for ten Kalpas. 13 14

As the decisive war approached, the Witch Race developed Soul Gathering Banners from the souls of slain humans. Houtu opposed the mass slaughter, but Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches approved the plan to strengthen their formations against the Demon Race. 40 41

Houtu later received enlightenment and sacrificed her body to establish the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Her departure left the Twelve Heavenly Fiend God Formation incomplete, forcing the remaining Ancestral Witches to cultivate Zhou Ji as her successor. 42

The final Witch-Demon War erupted at Mount Buzhou. The Witch Race deployed 129,600 Soul Gathering Banners and offered sacrifices to Pangu, but the battle ended in mutual destruction: Mount Buzhou collapsed, major Ancestral Witches perished, and the Primordial Desolation shattered. 49 51

Survival and later revivals

After the calamity, surviving Witch Clan members withdrew into the Nine Nether Underworld and the harsh North Kurulu Continent under Great Witches such as Xing Tian and Jiu Feng. 52

Chi You later emerged as an active leader among the surviving southern tribes. Having developed a Primordial Spirit after consuming an immortal herb, he rallied Great Witches and Witch-Humans to restore the race’s former glory and contend for the Human Emperor position. 66 67 68

During Great Qin’s rise, Ying Zheng, Wang Jian, and Bai Qi used blood sacrifices and residual Witch Clan fragments to obtain Great Witch bodies. They forged the Twelve Golden Figures and attempted to recreate the power of the Twelve Ancestral Witches through a simplified Twelve Heavenly Fiend God Formation. 137 140

The Witch Race later restored its Twelve Heavenly Fiend God Formation, revived Chi You, and expanded through repeated conflicts with the Demon Race, Xuanmen sects, Buddhism, and the Demonic Sect. 210 258 277

During the later great war, the Witch Race joined Buddhism and the Demonic Sect in the Witch-Buddha-Devil Alliance. The alliance ultimately collapsed; Xing Tian, Chi You, and several Ancestral Witches were killed, and the remaining Ancestral Witches retreated north to preserve the race. 377 419 421

Internal ranks

• Lesser Witches and Witch-Humans — lower-ranking members and mixed descendants who later formed a substantial part of the race’s surviving forces. 49 137
• Witches and shamans — advisers, healers, and sacrificial officiants who research secret arts and conduct rites to Heaven, Earth, and Pangu. 40

Beliefs

The Witch Race worships Pangu as Father God and reveres Heaven and Earth, but does not worship Hongjun or respect the Saints. 40

Abilities & Skills

Ancestral Witch Physiology

The Ancestral Witches possess exceptionally powerful physical bodies and command laws tied to natural forces.

• Can swallow heaven and earth, move mountains, overturn seas, and wield forces such as wind, water, thunder, and lightning. 8
• Manifest Ancestral Witch true forms in battle; their fists can rival mountains in size. 13
• The original Twelve Ancestral Witches were each Quasi-Saint-level beings. 8

Twelve Heavenly Fiend God Formation

The race’s foremost war formation is based on the united power of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

• Can summon Pangu’s true form at full power. 12
• Became incomplete when Houtu transformed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation. 42
• Was later restored through newly refined Twelve Golden Figures and reunited Ancestral Witches. 258 280
• A simplified version empowered twelve Golden Figures to Grand Unity Golden Immortal levels during Great Qin’s revival. 140

Soul and Ghost Arts

Witch shamans discovered that humans who die miserably leave behind Fierce Ghosts formed from their three souls and seven spirits.

• Fierce Ghosts specialize in attacking Primordial Spirits and become dangerous when amassed in vast numbers. 40
• The Witch Race developed secret arts to use human souls and ghostly resentment as weapons against the Demon Race. 40 41
• Soul Gathering Banners gather vengeful spirits and can release them across a battlefield. 40 49
• Later priests performed blood sacrifices with the remains of Primordial Chaos Grand Unity Golden Immortals to fuel an ancient curse. 412

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Soul Gathering Banners — 129,600 banners refined from human vengeful spirits for the decisive Witch-Demon War. 49
• Twelve Golden Figures — Shouyang Mountain bronze constructs used to recreate the Twelve Heavenly Fiend God Formation. 137 140
• Pangu relics — treasures kept within the Ancestral Witch Hall and used during formation practice. 30
• Pangu statue altar — sacrificial altar used to seek Pangu’s protection before the decisive war. 48 49
• Ancient remains of Primordial Chaos Grand Unity Golden Immortals — sinister ritual materials used by Witch Clan priests in later conflicts. 412

Relationships

• Pangu — revered as Father God and the progenitor of the Twelve Ancestral Witches; the race offers sacrifices to him before major wars. 8 49
• Demon Race — ancient mortal enemy; their struggle for dominion over the Primordial Desolation led to repeated wars and near-mutual annihilation. 8 13 51
• Human Race — initially exploited for souls and Fierce Ghosts during the Witch-Demon conflict; later Witch-Humans and human-linked Great Witches became central to revival efforts. 40 41 137
• Houtu / Empress Pingxin — Ancestral Witch whose sacrifice established the Six Paths of Reincarnation; she later shelters the race’s depleted remnants there. 42 497
• Buddhism — later ally in the Witch-Buddha-Devil Alliance, though Buddhism’s support was tied to its own ambitions. 377 382
• Demonic Sect — ally in the Witch-Buddha-Devil Alliance and contributor to its combined formations. 412
• Chaos Dao Lord — opposed Xing Tian when the Witch Race attempted to disrupt the Demon Race’s sect-establishment ceremony. 210
